With access to the world’s greatest musical entertainment, state-of-the-art lighting and sound, custom menus and mixology, this phenomenal 55,000 square-foot entertainment arena is part Mississippi Delta juke joint and part 1920s opera house. The four-level space is comprised of three distinctive environments including a VIP Lounge, a rocking Restaurant & Bar featuring contemporary and traditional Southern art and cuisine and a spectacular multi-story Music Hall.

Modeled after Prague’s elaborate Estavovski Opera House, this classically designed space features an elevated stage, 10 opera boxes and a large collection of folk art. The Music Hall is also highlighted by a unique dance floor and the latest in audio & visual technology. The tri-level Music Hall is a great location for receptions, seated lectures, cocktail parties, award shows, and events of all occasions.

The versatile space accommodates receptions up to 400 guests or seated events for 250. Its two separate dining rooms, the Chicago Room and Delta Room, are adorned with ceiling panels that feature original bas-relief portraits of blues legends. The 936 square-foot Chicago Room is dedicated to Chicago Blues greats, while the 730 square-foot Delta Room is an homage to Delta Blues icons.
